Passive Aggressive Work Emails With My Toddler About Dinner
Looking forward to getting this on the books!!
Hi Goof!
Just circling back on whether we’re set for the 6pm with pesto noodles.
Thanks!

Ahh sorry – just seeing this. Since it’s so close to the mtg should probably go ahead and reset.
Apologies. Have a great rest of your night.

Actually, all good if you’re still avail!
Pesto is ready and waiting for you whenever. Want me to carry you to the chair or are you good to walk?

Hey, Mommy
In all transparency, is there kale in the pesto?
Let me know.

Hi G!
Can definitely check for you, but in the meantime, for the sake of expediency are you good to get started?
M

I’ll stand by while you confirm.

Hey, Goof
Ok. Good news and bad news: The good news is I’m hearing the pesto is the best yet. People are very excited about it (including Dad, not to name drop) and I’m so glad the stars aligned and we could get you and noodles in a room together. On the kale front, it’s looking like a yes. Regardless, from a big picture standpoint re: growth/digestion/etc., we all think it’s definitely the right move strategically.
We’ll go ahead and confirm you for eating the pesto for 6:15 since you’ve got a hard out at 6:30 for bath.

Hey!
Totally hear you. I think sadly after dealing with some personal stuff on my end it’s just not going to work out and I hate to do this but possibly won’t make the 6:30 either. Send my apologies to bath!
Best,
Goof

Hi Goof,
So sorry to hear about the personal conflict! I hope all is okay! We’ll be thinking of you. I’m hearing that the meeting is sadly not flexible. And unfortunately neither is bath because it’s going to be booked at 6:45 for (again – not usually this name droppy!) the baby.
One development: I got word that we can do one episode of Bluey on the iPad during the 6:15 if that changes things, but (sorry – they were really set on this point) you have to be eating to watch it.
Thanks,
Mom
—
Oh - That does change things. Two episodes poss?
G
—
Great!! Sadly it’s only one because of the bath double-booking later.
Apologies!

Amazing! Have a great rest of your night!!

Same to you.
I’ll see you at 3am.

See you then!!!!
I know this isn't the takeaway, but one episode of Bluey is a rubbish deal. I'm a little bit angry about it. Furious in fact. I mean, it's seven minutes long. There's no way he's smashing a bowl of pesto that quickly. Two episodes is a MINIMUM (sorry for caps, but I'm a bit triggered) if watching Bluey. Actually, I guess it depends on the pesto. If it's a small bowl he could probs do it in under ten minutes. Also, you don't want the episode still going with an empty bowl situation. In fact, two episodes is way to many. I've changed my mind. Disregard.
Good communication is soooo important in these developmental stages 👍🏽
